Educational Capital Campaigns

Your capital campaign is a unique event in your school's history. It offers you a special opportunity to reach out to your community as widely and comprehensively as possible, and let people know how they can become part of your success.

We design our capital campaign programs to do just that. As your fundraising partners, we help potential donors understand that they're not just contributing money, they're contributing to the entire community by supporting the vital educational work you do.

We do this by combining your case for support with our experience, expertise, and proven fundraising techniques. Our exclusive mix of telephone outreach and personalized mail is a powerful tool that enables you to raise funds that would otherwise be lost, because many of these funds will come from first time donors.

No other process captures these gifts: not direct mail, not a "stretch" annual appeal, not even personal solicitation. In fact, we have special outreach programs for potential donors who will not be reached by personal solicitation before the campaign ends.

The result is that you'll meet, and even exceed, your campaign goals. Further, by generating unrestricted capital campaign gifts, our program will allow you to complete underfunded priorities. You'll make your campaign a truly complete success by being able to direct funds to where they're needed most.

Matching and Challenge Grants

During our more than twenty years of success, we've been especially strong in helping schools make the most of Kresge and other matching and challenge grants.

Our strategies and techniques leverage these grants across a broad base of donors, consistently generating funds from both previous donors and those who have never supported you before. You'll easily surpass any participation goals, meet the challenge grant, and position your institution for future grants.
